The Daiichi 2441 salmon and steelhead fly is a hook that is analogous to the TMC 7999 salmon and steelhead fly hook. This Daiichi hook is referred to as the traditional salmon/steelhead hook, and we know why: it admirably performs to our standards for tying steelhead and salmon flies. The Daiichi 2441 steelhead and salmon hook has a sharp point, low barb, has wire we think is very similar to the TMC 7999, and is generally a graceful and trustworthy base for our anadromous fish flies
